you heard harry reid speak moments ago, a big thumbs down over there, and then -- then -- we will move on. but the number of votes on either side really doesn't matter so much as this number. the number of days and hours now left until the money runs out. this is what we've been warning about for weeks and weeks. still, the vote today was enough to allow the republicans to spike the ball into boehner's court. and he did so with a vengeance. >> i struck my neck out a mile to try and get in agreement with the president of the united states. i stuck my neck out a mile. and i put revenues on the table. in order to try to come to an agreement to avert us being where we are. but a lot of people in this town can never say yes. a lot of people can never say yes. this house has acted. and it is time for the administration and time for our colleagues across the aisle, put something on the table. tell us where you are! >> well, over in the senate, what they are putting on the table is mr. boehner's bill. they'll kill it over there. that's under way right now. we'll let you when the voting is done

on the one hand we have people who say the government has grown too big. republicans are saying we cannot afford it anymore. it is hurting the economy. it's a vision for the future that is very, very different from our colleagues across the aisle who basically see government as much more engaged in the process and don't want to cut back on a number of programs, a number of initiatives, a number of policies that have been put in place over a number of years. and it's not quite that clearly divided by this aisle. there are people on both sides that have shades of one way or shades of the other way. but the reality is, if we look around the world and we lack at models as to what makes economies flourish and what makes governments financially stable, we see that an overgrowth of promises, an overpromising parliaments and congresses finally brings us to the point where you no longer can afford what you promise people. that's where we are now. and so without putting those practices in place, i fear that whatever we do won't be sufficient. we'll get the downgrade
